Review on πŸ’‘ MD Lighting Candelabra Replacement Incandescent Bulb by Cody Unruh

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Small 60w led bulb equals

I hesitated between 3 and 4 stars, the loss of extra stars is due to some exaggerated claims in the description. Except for a 1/8 inch difference in the length of the clear plastic body, this 10W bulb is identical in brightness, size, materials used and design to the Corncob E-12 bulb also sold on amazon.com (see https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z4PJQRB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). There may be some internal design differences that result in this lamp being powered at 10W instead of 8W. The rest of the lamp, including the actual lighting, is the same as the 8W LED. Actual lighting is equivalent to a 60 watt chandelier. So you're exaggerating actual light output, but I've seen far worse exaggerations on LED bulb deals. Please note that incandescent bulbs have never exceeded 60W, so they are at least as bright as your old chandeliers. Just don't expect any extra brightness/lighting. LED bulbs need a heat sink to protect the internal electronics from heat (yes, LED bulbs and their electronics generate heat, but much less than incandescent bulbs). Due to the very small lamp base and the very low weight, the heat sink, if any, is quite small.

  • Best
